Stopping A System With The Systems Director Management Console - IBM 8203-E4A Manual

By default, the managed system is set to power off automatically when you shut down the last running
logical partition on the managed system. If you set the managed system properties on the HMC so that
the managed system does not power off automatically, you must use this procedure to power off your
managed system.
Attention: If possible, shut down the running logical partitions on the managed system before powering
off the managed system. Powering off the managed system without shutting down the logical partitions
first causes the logical partitions to shut down abnormally and can cause data loss. If you use a Virtual
I/O Server (VIOS) logical partition, ensure that all clients are shut down or that the clients have access to
their devices using an alternate method.
To power off a managed system, you must be a member of one of the following roles:
v Super administrator
v Service representative
v Operator
v Product engineer
1. In the Navigation area, expand the Systems Management folder.
2. Click the Servers icon.
3. In the Contents area, select the managed system.
4. Select Tasks, then Operations, and then Power Off
5. Select the appropriate power-off mode and click OK.

Stopping a system with the Systems Director Management Console

You can use the IBM Systems Director Management Console (SDMC) user interface to stop the system or
a virtual server. Use the following steps to accomplish this task.
By default, the managed system is set to power off automatically when you shut down the last running
virtual server on the managed system. If you set the managed system properties on the SDMC so that the
managed system does not power off automatically, you must use this procedure to power off your
managed system.
Attention: If possible, shut down the running virtual servers on the managed system before powering
off the managed system. Powering off the managed system without shutting down the virtual servers
first causes the virtual servers to shut down abnormally and can cause data loss. If you use a Virtual I/O
Server (VIOS) logical partition, ensure that all clients are shut down or that the clients have access to
their devices with an alternate method.
